With the purpose to compare phonomechanocardiography and echo Doppler in the assessment of diastolic function of the left ventricle, we study 45 patients (30 male and 15 female) average age 50 +/- 9 years. We performed phonomechanocardiogram, echo-M, 2-D and Doppler transmitral. They were classified in four group according to mitral flow pattern: normal 14 patients; pattern I by Appleton (PI) 14 patients, 11 with aortic stenosis and 3 with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; pattern II (PII) 12 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy grade III-IV and the last group of 5 patients with myocardial infarction with normal mitral flow but with impaired diastolic function by phonomechanocardiography. The phonomechanocardiographic index of ventricular relaxation (A2-O, ITRAT), compliance (a/D) and global diastolic function (ITAD) correlated with Doppler index (A2-D, E/A, atrial filling fraction, E-F slope and deceleration time) in N + PI group. The correlation was not significant when N + PI + PII or PI + PII groups were considered. The ITAD and E/A had r = 0.713 (p0.001) in N + PI, r = 0.12 (NS) in N + PI + PII and r = -0.308 (NS) in PI + PII. There was a dissociation between increased "a" wave in apexcardiogram and little "A" wave in PII patients suggesting "atrial failure". The patients with myocardial infarction received isosorbide dinitrate 5 mg showing changes of "pseudonormalizated" pattern in PI with normalized ITAD. This findings suggest that assessment of diastolic function by Doppler is dependent of loading conditions (specially preload), and cannot evaluate relaxation in PII but this is possible by phonomechanocardiography. It is advised the combination of the two technics for better assessment of diastolic function. |
